Honestly, when this was first released I didn't think I would still be spinning it daily several months later...& yet I just seem to keep falling in love with it all over again with every listen. It's safe to say that I'm hopelessly addicted at this point. It might not be quite consistent enough to deserve an outright flawless 5 - but the highlights are so abundant & exquisitely eargasmic that it's certainly not far off being as such. Should be a genuine contender for AOTY in everyone's books.

In all honesty - this would probably be a 2 at best if it weren't for the occasionally impressive instrumental work & the last track.

Just a messy mish-mash of half-baked ideas with little genuine inspiration or cohesion apparent throughout each song. Ends up being an ultimately redundant release lacking actual discernable substance, innovation or guile; the entirety almost completely destitute of any true replay value.

Something that I definitely have no real desire to revisit any time soon...
